Rotary Meeting

Last Tuesday I accompanied Hans and Louise to my first Ystads-Tornväktaren Rotary Klubb meeting. I was introduced to many people who I cannot remember the names of. I also met the President who had a big Rotary medallion-thing around his neck. One of the Rotarians I met had done some work in Michigan.

Then we had dinner, which was cabbage covered meat, potatoes and salad. It was interesting, although I couldn't understand anything said at the table so I kept myself amused by seeing how much of the awful mineral water I could drink.

After dinner we all moved over to another part of the restaurant to watch a presentation, but before that I had to introduce myself. I did so in English, but they said that later in the year I should do it in Swedish. Then we started with the presentation...

It was titled "Vad är våldtäkt?". I asked Hans what it meant.

He replied "Rape."

After that I was glad I couldn't understand anything.
